Museum of Photography in Krakow

The new multimedia-rich exhibition “What Makes a Photo?” at the Museum of Photography in Krakow (MuFo) is the first exhibition in Poland to present a cross-sectional view of the history of photography, its present and its future.
Visitors have the opportunity to learn about different photographic techniques, to understand how modern prints are made, but also to find out what methods were previously used to record images on paper. The new exhibition also features an extensive collection of works by Polish photographers. Another important aspect of the exhibition is the presentation of the cultural significance of photography – how it was used to convey information, but also to influence public opinion.

The arrangement of the exhibition gives visitors the opportunity to explore, experience and freely contemplate the main themes of the exhibition. The space has been designed to affect the various senses. Original exhibits, reproductions and factual content are presented in the exhibition using alternating forms – texts and infographics, “hands on” interactive elements, allowing visitors to experiment and discover on their own.
